SIMPLE SERVICE MRS FUNERAL OF ILLY REID Ceremony in Charge of Episcopal Church and Los Angeles Elks. MILLIONS MOURN LOSS • Body Will Be Cremated, According to Wishes of Deceased Star. By United Xetcs HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 20. Simplicity marked the funeral of Wally Reid, the screen star whose | heroic fight for a “clean life” ended | Thursday In a Hollywood sanitarium, j but the elite of the film world at- i tended to pay him tribute. The sendee of the Episcopal church, j followed by the solemn ritual of the | Elks, was read over the body of the | man whose loss Is now mourned by j millions. There was no glaring pageantry, j no boastful eulogies, no clicking! cameras within the First Congregational Church, in Los Angeles, where the sendees were held at 3:30I this afternoon. The Rev. Xeal Dodd, pastor of the Church of St. Mary of the Angels, read the Episcopal service, after which members of Los Anglese Lodge No. 99, B. P. O. E., conducted their ceremony. Active pallbearers are William Desmond. William S. Hart, Edward j Brady, Noah Beery, Eugene Pallette, 1 and Benjamin Frazee. Honorary pallbearers are Jack Holt, 1 Sam Wood. Theodore Roberts, Conrad ■ Nagel, Antonio Moreno and Victor H. Clarke. It is believed that the body will be j cremated. In accordance with his expressed wish. Body Lies in State From 9 o'clock until the hour of sendee the bedy lay in state in the church where his hundreds of friends viewed it for the last time. Among them v.-ere those who knew Wally at his best and those who knew him at his worst. Hundreds of beautiful floral offer , Ings have been sent to the Reid home and to the Lasky studio, where Reid was one of the principal stars be- j fore his retirement several months ago in an effort to recuperate from | the ravages of the drug habit. Happiness has turned in a day to deep Badness in the Reid home where Dorothy Davenport, his wife: little “Bil’y” Reid, their 6-year-old son, and Betty, 3-year-old adopted daughter, ! mourned the passing of a beloved | husband and father. Little. Billy, though, doesn’t know that his father Is dead. “Daddy's gone away for a long, long : time,” his mother, Mrs. Dorothy Dav enport Reid, told him. “He might : never, never come back.” And little Betty, too young to understand, merely gazed round-eyed at the mother. Floods of telegrams from friends and admirers of the dead star have also poured into Hollywood. “The motion pictures have lost an artist who held a unique place in the hearts of the patrons of the screen.” declared Jeses L. Lasky of Famous Players-Lasky. “Nevertheless, there is this consolation: That he still lives upon the screen and the world may continue to enjoy the note of happiness and humor which he helped to introduce. “God Speed, Wally” “God speed, Wally,” said Mary Miles Minter, “you were our play boy of the screen who brought us joy and laughter. You always made us feel that you were as much for us as we were for you.” "In the death of Wally Reid, the motion picture industry suffers an irreparable loss,” declared Douglas Fairbanks. “My heart goes out in sympathy to the wife and mother of Wallace Reid,” said Mary Pickford. “His death was a great tragedy because I know he would have lived down every mistake he ever made. He was a charming boy with great genius.” “I hope he has at last found a happy ending to his story,” said Marshall Neilan. "The whole affair is too tragic for me to express the grief and sorrow that I feel,” was the comment of Charlie Chaplin. Although Reid’s fortune was at one time estimated at close to $1,000,000, it was declared Friday that this has dwindled to SIOO,OOO, some of which consists of notes of doubtful value. Reid has been receiving SSOO a week from Lasky throughout his illness. He was carrying $70,000 insurance at the time of his death, it w’as said.

Pilgrims to Pendleton Blush at Recognition

The prevailing expression among the 100 legislators who made the trip to Pendleton yesterday was that Governor McCray’s estimate of $2,000,000 to complete the new reformatory was a conservative one. One Representative remarked: "I don’t see how they could begin scratching the ground for any less. All agreed the work was vast and would require money. Everybody wondered who provided the train for the trip. At las; it leaked out that the Big Four Rail- ; road did it. The next question was j about the sandwiches, which seemed to have come from an anonymous donor. Representatives Asa J. Smith and Ezra W. Graham estimated Indianapolis bootblacks would reap a profit o* approximately sls shining shoes

W. Dodge Com- j pany, which show a total of $123,196,-! 700 expended for the twelve months ending Dec. 31. The Increase for 1922 over 1921 is <•’B per cent.

Business of the Legislature has kept Representatives Ogden and Ahlgren so occupied that they forgto to wear their overcoats. Quite a few of Governor McCray’s pilgrims blushed when recognized by one of the guards, Pete Stoner. They blushed more when Stoner explained they had been there before. A squad of newspaper men followed Governor McCray about the grounds in quest of "exclusive news,” but the Governor evidently was one of the bunch there to see and not to sy. .

M. Clayton, 1318 E. Tenth St., as the reason for publication in an Indianapolis newspaper of a false notice announcing the "death” of Clayton’s son, George Fugas Clayton, 16. Dr. Clayton investigated the source of the announcement, which caused considerable concern among friends of the boy. and learned that the person who gave the notice gave as his telephone number the one where Dr. and Mrs. Clayton usually live at Forty-Third St. and Mlllersville Road. During the winter they have been living at the Tenth St. address, which is owned by a friend now in Florida. Mrs. Clayton said that her husband was warned a few weeks ago to bo on the lookout for such a notice about him In one of the papers, and that seme person later Rought to have an announcement printed. Tho son now is a student at Shorti ridge High School, where he is a lieu- : tenant in the R. O. T. O.

Democratic Leader in Senate Is Capitalist

6<zru Joe Cravens, Modisovt^ —By Times Staff Artist. Meet Senator Joe Cravens, who has been in the Legislature as long as anybody can remember. Senator Cravens hails from Madison. lie is Democratis Senate floor leader. The Senate directory lists him as a capitalist. REFERENDUM ON DRYISSUETALKED BY DEMOCRATS Proponents of Idea AA/ould Have Congress Provide for Vote. By United .W w t WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—A national referendum to test out the sentiment of the country on prohibition is being discussed in national Democratic circles. If the suggestion meets with sufficient favor, it may be brought forward as a platform plank at the national convention next year. Such a national referendum could be provided for through an act of Congress, proponents of the idea declare, though they anticipate an effort of extreme dry** to raise constitutional objections. Friends of the referendum plan regard It. as offering the best way out of a bitter tight between the wet and dry factions within the Democratic party. Dry Democrats nre already setting about actively to prevent their party from shouldering the wot end of the liquor issue in next year's campaign. This activity is tho result of warnings voiced by William J. Bryan during a recent visit here when ho conferred with a number of Democratic Senators.

LEGISLATORS OFF TO PREPARE FOR IMPORTANT WEEK Bonus, Movie Censorship and Boxing to Come Up, Once again the members of the Legislature were at home for the week-end today, feeling out tho sentiment of their constituants and looking forward to a busy week ahead. Next week probably will see more activity than any previous period of the session. Among the measures which will come up for discussion before the end of the week are: The soldier bonus. The bill establishing a State constabulary. The establishment of a boxing commission. Motion picture censorship. Tho prevention of sporting events on Memorial day. Tho making of counties units In school administration. The bonus bill is ready for second reading in the House of Representatives. It passed through a stormy session of the House, sitting as a committee of the whole, and is expected j to be attacked again on second reading. Its friends admit it was considerably weakened by amendments. The measure establishing a State police has been recommitted to a committee in the Senate and will be reported out with a majority and a minority report. These reports undoubtedly will cause a division in the Senate. One of the hardest fights In the Assembly probably will result from the bill establishing a boxing commission, now In committee in the House. A public hearing has been held and strong sentiment on both sides of tho Question has been revealed. The measure was defeated two years ago. The bill for motion picture censorship, or, as it friends prefer, motion picture regulation, is expected to cause about as much of a fight as the boxing bill. The bill is now in the public morals committee of the Senate. Os the administration bills bills thus far under consideration, the county unit bill is causing the greatest stir. Next week also will see the introduction of the appropriation bills, if Governor McCray complies with the law, under which they must be placed in tho House by Jan. £4. The Governor bus been holding the report of the budget committee for a week. The bills will not agree with the report in j all particulars. In about one fifteen-thousandth of a cubic Inch of human blood there are approximately 6,000,000 red blood corpuscles.
